I am going to compare cheap Crayola coloured pencils to the expensive Caran D'ache Luminance coloured pencils to see if you need expensive coloured pencils to create amazing coloured pencil drawings or whether you can draw impressive art with even the cheapest colored pencils.

Honestly what this taught me is I should use crayola for details and my more expensive ones for for shading and other technics.
Or you could use oil based for details...
Polychromos are the best for details, way better than crayola, crayola’s lead is more likely to break, has less control and may not layer and can break your paper more easily
U fu
@mr noxious try Caliber lol Whenever I sharpen them I can just pick off the lead ☹️😢👽😩
Exactly, she's shows that Crayola layers fine and it's not going to hurt your paper just doing details. People just like paying more money to feel superior.
I think an advanced artist is able to use "bad" supplies and draw a great picture. But for an beginner it's more difficult to get good results with "bad" supplies. I think great supplies are a good investment while improving. With better supplies some things are much better and easier to work with. So I think also beginners should use good art supplies. Maybe not the most expensive ones.. But good ones.
For example no artist grade but student grade art supplies. And I think quality is more important than quantity.
Yes, you can make a beautyfull drawing but it will fade super quick - it's not worth putting time in this cheap crap if you take art even slightly seriously. They belong in coloring books thats it.
Meh I still suck... I think my ruler changes length every second fr
Lightfastness only matters when you're good enought to sell or put your work on the wall and have it sit there. Even proffesionals illustrators and designers don't waste money on artist grade if they know they will sell prints and not originals.
Despite loving almost every media there is, I spent my adult life hating coloured pencils. Developing arthritis didn’t help, as I always found pencils too much strain on my hands. After getting into coloring with gel pens this year I wanted more flexibility and decided to test pencils once more. This time I watched some reviews and decided on polychromos. I am IN LOVE! And they are so forgiving which is the opposite of how I’d always found cheap pencils before. I’m so glad I tried and would recommend every beginner try good quality pencils first. Beginners need better quality. Professional artists can do more with subpar ingredients!
@@Miss_Distress Polychromos are actually pretty hard I would say. Caran D'ache, Prismacolor, Arteza, and even Faber Castell Goldfaber are mostly wax-based and much softer. Just saying, this in case you wish to further reduce the strain on your hands. They all can be used together anyway.
I only buy three "colors" of Caran D'ache - black, white, blender. Other elements to be considered for colored pencil general use (wax or oil) is room/color core temperature & humidity effects on paper mediums. Quality content in this video. Thanks.
Yes I use black, white and blender more than any other color and the white actually shows up. Sometimes I use the cheap white colors to blend as well.
I can strongly suggest the Derwent drawing white and black. They’re known to be amazing. The white is even better than the luminance and not as expensive at all. I love that black and white.
I just discovered Holbein Works "soft white" pencil, out of prisma, derwent pastel, sargent charcoal white and polychromos it is the most opaque white pencil I've ever used. The lead is softer than them all, more buttery than prisma by far. If you don't have it, do try and see how it performs for you.
I completely agree with you. Although I also use Derwent Chinese White when I need to lay down a lot of color, it is absolutely amazing. For details I use Polychromos Black as the other two are too soft to be able to get really tiny lines.
Wow! I loved your work with Crayola, I might even prefer that side over Carandache especially for the $3 price.
Ur art is amazing!! I just subbed
HOLY SHIT THATS SOME GOOD ART ON YOUR CHANNEL
ur talented as hell
ur art is so good wtf
WHOA! I LOVE YOUR ARTWORKS!!

No power in the can stop them to compose a MASTERPIECE. There is by no doubt, Ms. Partridge is beyond blessed with these gifts! Congratulations to you and your hard efforts…
In my opinion the only exception to this is rose art colored pencils because they are absolute garbage, unless you are using them for sketching because there is no pigment
If you're selling your art, one important thing to consider is LIGHTFASTNESS of the colored pencils, you wouldn't want your art to FADE AWAY after a few months.
@@mc_va I am not talking about selling art. I am just taking about the skill itself. If someone is meant to be skilled it will show regardless of how expensive or inexpensive the tools are! You are correct when someone has mastered the skill the expensive quality tools are worth because it will amplify the piece!!!
I like to think of it as if a track athlete is training while wearing a body-weight suit or a back-pack full of rocks to increase strength and endurance…
@@dancerdog508 yeah rose art is shit
Ok crayola is really that bad but some others are so bad they have a hard time drawing on the paper
Just remember lots of pressure can cause lots of wrist pain for some... So a mid range soft pencil can make hours of art more enjoyable. So if this you, remember that. Also God loves you.
The Luminance and Polychromos pencils makes the "CHA-CHING" sound whenever I twist the pencils it into the sharpener.
They indeed do
Thats why i said screw sharpeners and use a craft knife 💀
I use the luminance for commissions and presents, I have the crayola 100 set and love them for color books, practice shading, etc. For the price, they are not bad. But I love my luminance, polys and DLF 😀
@BloopBulp Derwent Light-fast
What this video taught me is that I just suck at drawing and my supplies don’t matter.
The final result turned out great. I wonder how well the white caran d'ache could finish blending/burnishing the Crayola side.
I actually can tell the drawing was done with two different pencils and tbh, I like the crayola side better. It looks more vibrant and colorful. Perhaps it's because she had to build up values more? It just looks richer and has more depth of color and doesn't look unnaturally smooth. It's a beautiful portrait study, she really showed what skill does with limited supplies. Nice work!! Great encouragement!
I like it too
This versus video is the one I've been looking for! My kids and I (and my prismacolors) thank you ☺
I have always loved Caran d ache. The smoothness and feel of them makes it possible to focus on the art, and not on the pencil. Working with crayons pencils was always hard.
Tbh, I find that on tiktok many people just hate “bad” art supplies, tbh I use every day sharpers pencils and pens you would find in a peep class
This is a brilliant idea for an episode! I love Crayola and have used them for years without complaint, but you showed me some things I had never realized before, i.e., the lack of dark colors and the shine compared to Caran D'Ache, as well as the lightness of the white and black in comparison. All very good to know.
Love how you really put both pencils through the paces. Great comprehensive testing.
Honestly to say, seeing your drawing without thinking anything else + your voice, is so relaxing and calming.
I use Cryola, RoseArt (out of business) and CraZart... all cheap colour pencils... but with them I drew a blue cloacked Mother Marie (11 x 14 inch) drawing which I sold for 250 USD.
I like using cheaper colour pencils because I like to prove to financially-unfortunate people (just like I used to be), that a great artist can use anything cheap and still make a masterpiece.
Me: Watch this kids, you'll see why my pencils aren't for you...
Kirsty: *Does Kirsty things and makes me look like an idiot in front of my 8 and 10 year olds* 😑😅🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn
Now i have no more excuses
I am just extremly bad with coloured pencils
Back to the drawing board thinking about how to improve
Hey Kirsty! I love your videos. I'd love to see a comparison for colored pencils(cheap and expensive), on different papers like cheap sketch paper and other expensive paper. Thanks.
Pretty self explanatory, cheap thin paper obviously won’t take many layers. Just your common sense, Jessie.
My absolute favorite for coloring without using any blending solvents or blending pencils is Luminance then Polychromos. I use them together a lot.
Crayola or however the cheap colored pencils are called in your country (because not every country has American brands) are usually made for children. Most of children have a very hard hand and can't adjust their grip and pressure very good. So the pencils have to be sturdy. I always wonder why so many art youtubers don't see that. You don't want a children's pencil to be soft. They would be destroyed in no time.
And btw: You should turn the sharpener, not the pencil. Because when you turn the pencil, you push it around in the sharpener and it won't be so easy and smooth. When you turn the sharpener, you adjust it to the pencil and so the pencil doesn't get damaged. Especially since you seem to be quite....eager when sharpening your pencils.
Thank you, this was so cool to watch! I've only really had Crayola and some other off brand colored pencils so far, but will keep working with them until I'm more confident and willing to spend more on the fancier stuff. :)
For a little step up, have a look at the Arteza stuff! I got their 72 set of watercolour pencils for only £27. A smaller set is even more affordable (and more than enough!), and their regular coloured pencils very affordable, especially if you're on a budget and don't want to go crazy, price-wise.
I only just found the brand recently through a YT video.
Not Caran D'Ache etc quality, but affordable decent quality!
This video was so well made. Thank you so much Kirsty, it was a delight and very inspiring to watch :)

No power in the can stop a maestro to compose a MASTERPIECE. There is by no doubt, Ms. Partridge is beyond blessed with these gifts! I would like to Congratulate her for all the time, hard efforts, ups and downs, extreme focus she has spent mastering her craft… She is extremely blessed and lucky to master what she loves. I wish I can have at least 1/10 of her talent.
Thank you Ms. Partridge,
Would be interested to see what happens if you leave this piece under a UV lamp for an extended period.
I think it would'nt take very long to see a very big difference.
Thank you for the helpful comparison Kristy! Any plans to review Castle coloured pencils? They seem to be gaining popularity and I'm curious as to how they measure up against your current favourites!
Love the comparison you did showing the various techniques ❤️ probably my favorite part of this video!
It’s really great to see how many layers of colour you are using to create the detailed look you are going for. I had no idea that you need to go over the colours so much. I’ve learned so much from this video. Thank you. x
Recently started drawing again after 10 years of doing mostly computer-generated art. Bought the Crayola colored pencils.
Personally, I find that the colored core breaks all the time whether sharpening or in use. They don't smudge very well. I haven't purchased any expensive colored pencils and probably won't. I plan on purchasing matte graphite drawing pencils. I haven't decided on what medium I'll use to do color work. An art teacher once told me that using cheap products can deter a learning artist.
As a professional portrait artist, she said always use the products that you can afford. You'll always be striving for your best results
Poor color products often produce poor color.
U r the art teacher i want
U helped me a lot
Wow, I literally don't have words, I truly did not know you could make such beautiful artwork with crayolas. Now i feel really inspired. The art supplies really doesn't make the artist though it can help.
I love doing light layers when I am going for blends. Some of my best pages are Crayola. I won't buy anything else for the kids ever! Other brands have tried, but Crayola is "the bomb" in student/cheap pencils.
I will say I honestly prefer the Crayola side.
Oh wow. I've been trying to prove to my art teacher that Crayolas matter too 😍😂 could I know what kind of power you use also?
If she doesn't answer may I suggest building up is what helps alot.
Crayola Lives Matter
@@joewoodchuck3824 haha, yes. 💚CLM💚
"14:10" -- Ah, yes, sharpening of the pencils! This is a major differentiating matter for sure.
Indeed, unless using a more expensive sharpener than like what Kirsty recommends over a regular sharpener, most cheaper pencils seem to be of too hard of a wooden casing & more prone to cracking as the sharpener's blade cuts into it.
And often regular sharpeners that the person sharpening turns the pencil in to sharpen the pencil tend to experience breakage.
As usual, @Kirsty Partridge Art, fantastic artistry, gentle demeanor, such great willingness to share artistic insights, &, though I've been drawing & painting from I was a little kid, there is so much information you generally provide that I'm always sure to be reminded of something I had forgotten along the way (especially since I've not had as much time on my hands as in the past to do much art) &/or to learn something new.
Be blessed. 🙏🏼
Perhaps some of your results are geographic or seasonal. As a blue water sailor working 90/90 ( 90 days at work on the ship and then 90 days off)...who likes to draw, I noticed a marked difference in my Crayola/Prisma/Faber/whatever was available for purchase in the country at the time b/c I needed to replace my most used coloures at different ports...during different times of the year and in different countries around the globe: temp/humidity having great affect. Note: The best set of pencils I ever bought was a super cheap set purchased in a grocery store in Vera Cruz Mexico. They performed the same everywhere. I would suggest doing this during each season. Additionly, I sharpen my pencils with a knife. I find it gives me more control and less waste than store bought sharperns. I have created in almost every medium, The only one I have found to be uneffected by temp/humid is making jewelry from glass beads and unwaxed dental floss( peyote stich ).
This is pretty helpful-I use Crayola for realistic drawings....so this gave me some tips! I hope to get some nicer ones soon, because the Crayolas can be frustrating....
I really liked this video. I will use Crayola for test drawings, figuring out color blending and background 1st layers. I think I save so much on supplies because the Crayolas do a good part of the initial work.
Lastly, I won't put more than 2 light layers of Crayola simply because I'm worried it'll ruin the paper or somehow ruin the layers of Prismacolors. I think I'm being silly but I love the look of the Prismacolors.
The companies watching the video: “Write that down, write that down!”
I love the side by side comparison. I wish more people done this.
Thank you for this video, usually I buy expensive professional pencils, but after this video I will change my mind
Woahhhh, I can't believe that it was made by 2 different brand. I think when someone look to it without watching the video they would say that it's made in just 1 brand pencil. Great outcome!!!!
I finally got a 72 pack of prismacolors and boy oh boy i love working with colors even more now! Before i only had crayola colored pencils, and i hated drawing pictures with color, but now i get super excited whenever i have free time to do art
I'm amazed that you're consistent even with cheap colour pencils
Thank you for being so objective in your explanations. I draw a lot with color pencils of all price ranges and you need to get a feeling for each kind of pencils. Once you have it, you can get great results even with cheaper ones.
My all time favorites are the simple Crayola, Stabilo ORIGINAL, Castle Arts and Faber Castel Polychromos. The Caran d'Ache Supracolor are too firm mor my taste.
If you're a pro or semi-pro artist, especially when you're taking commissions, don't just stick with the Crayolas and Faber Castell Classics or any kid's colored pencils, because your beautiful artworks made from it's pigments may turn into a waste when it fades, so switch to Polychromos and Luminance or Derwent lightfast instead. Lightfastness is still the most important at the end of the day.
非常感谢你的留言
@@yvonne_gao what?
@@ivmara9987 "thank you very much for your message" that's how youtube translates the comment.
@@ivmara9987 I don't speak Chinese though
Oh wow this was amazing. I actually preferred the crayola side. Im brand new to this and I will definitely pick up a pack of crayola tomorrow and have a play around. Thankyou so much xx
Well done! Great job explaining and demonstrating the sets! Since both have benefits, they could be combined in their strengths
The comnparison between the two highlights several expensive art on the map M outerly impressed. Z👍👍👍keep up the good pose as always 💯🔥
I loved ❣️how you explain very clearly...
I can only hope and pray that my art will one day look anything like yours. It's beautiful.
add practice to your to do list
Your comment about sharpening is very useful as I have already found issues with this using hand held sharpner!
you are such an amazing young artist,i love to watch you create
Crayola is best for either beginners or cartoon artists, but for realism, it's gonna be quite a challenge. I tried them on brown paper and they are vibrant, same for black paper(depending on the brand of black paper), the white doesn't apply on the crayolas, but blending and layering is great. They're not lightfast, so I recommend putting them in a folder or anywhere that is dark(like your drawers), so light won't fade the colors.
Can you draw a portrait with the light behind them like at sunset or something please?
The comparison we all needed. Great video, enjoyed it very much. Both sides came out very beautiful.
When working with any pencils, but especially the Crayola pencils, I always “buff” the image a bit and that gets rid of that “garish” shine.
What do you use to buff the image?
Depending on the nature of your projects or the type of art you do, another aspect is the ability to acquire individual colors outside of a set. (Some colors can and do get used up faster.) Sometimes that depends more on brand than price, but you're more likely to be able to do so with a more expensive artist's brand rather than something intended for kids or amateurs.
This video really shows us that she can create great art even with cheap supplies.
she could probably throw pencils at a sheet of paper and it come out a beautiful portrait! lol
Love the vid!
Would you please make a video of
Castle Arts VS Faber Castell "soft touch" (as in pastel) coloured pencils? Please.
Ohhh I love castle art
@@vincentknws ahhh I love u!! I was starting to feel like I'm the only person that knows this brand!💓
@@Tif_art_ they do seem to be a little known brand but they where less expensive when I needed art supplies like fabric paint and honestly i loved their fabric paint more than tulip so I tried their colored pencils and I actually like them more than prisma colors. Lol.
I know castle art soft touch colored pencil! They are bit softer than faber castell polychromos but i use the same technique and it works!
You are a superb artist to produce a painting like that using the cheapest of cheap pencils. Absolutely marvelous. TBH, I even prefer the Crayola side, but that's looking at a screen. I understand it is different looking at the actual painting. FULL MARKS though!
When I use a sharpener, I turn the sharpener and hold the pencil still. It gives more control and better feel for when it's a good point.
To get a deeper black with Crayola, I layer with 'deep space', a dull blue hue found in to 100 pencil box.
From what I understand the main "thing" about higher end coloured pencils is the benefit of getting less "greasy" gloss. Same applies for black pencils, as I've learned from other reviews.
No, the main thing is that they are LIGHTFAST and available open stock!
Some crayola pencils are lightfast! And some professional brands have certain colors that aren't! (I'm looking at you, prismacolor pinks.) Doing your own lightfastness tests is a great way to tell. Manufacturer lightfastness ratings can be a little iffy sometimes.
You are a thorough tester! Absolutely love this comparison! Keep up the amazing work!
There is no point in a cheap pencil or expensive pencil the point is no matter what we need to draw much beautiful with which pencil we have
There are artist out there who create hyper realism works with Crayola. Truly remarkable art pieces. If they were not called Crayola, they would be more respected.
No, they would be more respected if they where lightfast and available open stock.
The problem with creating hyper realism using Crayolas for *artists* is that you can't sell said artwork. It fades, which is a massive No if you have clients willing to pay! It would be shady to foist such a picture onto someone willing to pay who expects this to last for decades.
So yes, if you're just drawing for yourself and *you* don't mind if the finished picture you're proud of has degraded 5 or 10 years later by all means use Crayola.
Kirsty, I appreciate your information generosity. Thank you 😊
I loved the finale result
I never understood 1st comment or whatever. But I'm excited to see a comparison video!
I have three sets of color pencils. Crayola, Prismacolor, and the Lyra Rembrandt oil chromos. I use them all and definitely agree with you. There are pros and cons to all of them. Have you tried using petroleum jelly for burnishing? If so what are your thoughts about it?
You're amazing, wow. I use to think, not having the best material's were the reasons a drawing or painting would not come out looking good but you and another artists have shown me, that it's about the technique/skill that makes a drawing/painting not the material's. Side note. I know having better material's does help but it isn't the end all be all in my opinion. Take care 🙂 ❤ God bless.
To be honest, it just requires talent.
Wow! That’s beautifully done and yeah, you’re right about the 2 products. ☺️❤️
Keep safe.☺️🙏🏻
The softness depends on the color due to the contents/ingredients to produce that shade/color.
Do the two types blend well together? ..so that you can use the more expensive ones for blending and add in details with the crayola?
Great comnparison videos, LOVELY drawing! I have tried a lot of different colored pencils, and the hardness/softness is certainly good for different things. Like, prismacolor soft are really nice, but too soft for what I do. I have found Koh-i-noor Polycolor to be the best overall for what I do. The cheaper brand - Royal Color, is also very nice, though not as soft. But they don’t break easily and that makes it great again for other things. :)
👍👍👍zk
Superb drawing Kirsty... you are really getting my juices flowing especially with the crayons... the shininess really put me off Crayola so I must try some other out... thank you for your input as I find it very interesting...😊😍
another example of skill > expensive stuff
If you want to sharpen the Crayolas or expensive pencils, sharpen while you hold the pencil still and spin your sharpener... not totally sure why but it works.. I must have broken the lead 20 times with my prismacolor pencils... and came across that tip and didn't break another one.. also they make a mechanical pencil that has a tiny sharpener in the eraser part.. and it only sharpens the lead and it's amazing for getting a really sharp point on any pencil...
Thank you! I loved the way you broke everything down. Excelent video.
Oh wow, the quality differences between the two sets are so obvious when shown side-by-side. I went with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils. They look so creamy without even picking up a pencil.
24:42 in video duration, you did such a magnificent job!!! 👍
What I learned from this is cheap can work if you have skills in shading and layering
I like the Crayola side better but that shine is a no no.
Such a wonderful teacher.. 🙏 for sharing your knowledge, insight and experience with us.. so helpful..
Beautiful comparison!
Amazing! Besides the comparison, which was very informative, but you are very talented!
Beautiful artwork!!
WOW! You have done an amazing job! I could barley seek a difference!! I learned A LOT!! Thanks
thank you so much, for the guid and all tips you give us. ❤❤❤
Very interesting, thank you for all the different testing and thoughts. Great drawing with both sets
Thank you for the informative presentation and your well-thought-out and explained points of interest.
the only down side Ive found with crayola is the light fastness...
it's up to the artist who use the tools.
if your just starting out with colored pencils crayola its not a bad starting place.
honestly I think it's comes down to price and what look you want to get.
Wax vs Oil vs Clay?
Sometimes people just don't like a cream-y pencil.
great demo and superb portrait , well done Kirsty , excellent artist
YAY IM HERE EARLY!! Thank you so much Kirsty, you've really inspired me and got me back into colored pencils
The otherside looks softer.. But both are great. This vid shows me no matter what you have if the skill is there a masterpeice can be made.
Wow, you are simply fabulous ⭐️❤️
nice work girl...thnx 4 testing😉😉😍😍
